Perfection especially for red undertone skin....And this color is a perfect match for myself who has a red undertone.

Received free in exchange for my honest review. This foundation has a mild sunscreen scent. It’s a thinner liquid foundation that goes on smoothly and I’d say has a light-medium coverage over the medium-full coverage they claim. ...Overall great foundation!...This is not the most full coverage foundation I have ever used. I have red undertones, and after a full day, it is visible.

I personally prefer a no makeup, makeup look. I’m very fair with red undertones so I went with “Rosy”. The product is thick and it doesn’t take much to cover my face/neck. ...It’s hydrating and doesn’t look caked on like most foundations I’ve tried.
